Hi all! I would like to kick off the release planning for the operator 1.8.0 release. The last operator release was November 22 last year. Since then we have added a number of fixes and improvements to both the operator and the autoscaler logic.
There are a few outstanding PRs currently, including some larger features for the Autoscaler (JDBC event handler, Heap tuning), we have to make a decision regarding those as well whether to include in the release or not. @Maximilian Michels <m...@apache.org> , @Rui Fan <1996fan...@gmail.com> what's your take regarding those PRs? I generally like to be a bit more conservative with large new features to avoid introducing last minute instabilities. My proposal would be to aim for the end of this week as the freeze date (Feb 9) and then we can prepare RC1 on monday. I am happy to volunteer as a release manager but I am of course open to working together with someone on this. What do you think? Cheers, Gyula
